...crux of Leet's complaint is that the Berkner panel, formed to study the problems of test detection, excluded professional seismologists. They only members of the panel who had any seismological experience were what Leet calls, not derisively but not respectfully, "doodlebuggers,." This is a popular term for seismic prospect seismologists, electronic engineers who use a fraction of the know-how of earthquake seismology. Leet himself is an earthquake station seismologist.

Walker's complaint was directed at the biggest remaining impediment to everyday use of computers: the fact that a skilled programmer must often spend days reducing the elements of a problem to numerical or electronic code before he can hold even a brief conversation with his machine. To remedy this, at least half a dozen U.S. corporations have been trying to develop a machine that can communicate in a speedier and simpler language-pictures...
